Hi,

i confirm this on my desktop as well with NVidia driver directly from 
NVidia. It has been reported on other places as well and i tried this 
solution and it works

WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 
WEBKIT_DISABLE_SANDBOX_THIS_IS_DANGEROUS=1 WEBKIT_FORCE_SANDBOX=0 yelp 
<help-page>

This is the reports:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=228268
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/2498

I guess this is the issue with the NVidia driver/webkit itself rather 
than yelp, so we need upstream to work on this.
